Pure Avocado Oil Now Solutions

Pure Avocado Oil Now Solutions

Let me first begin by saying, I have a new found respect and love for this oil, I love avocados yes, but OMG i really love this oil.

Ok so my hair has changed to the point where it is no longer accepting my previous products or oils, by previous i mean giovanni and by oil i mean castor oil. My hair acted as if it had a mind of its own like a spoiled toddler lol, so i had too find something too make it happy again, so i whipped out the avocado oil from my cupboard.

My first impression of this oil was based on the fact that it felt like a silicone, my hair was so smooth, it felt great, that is the way my hair used too feel with castor oil before, Secondly i usually would spritz my hair every morning and night and seal, but with this oil i can get away with just using it alone and going about my business and my hair is moisturized and soft (yes i know they say that oils dont moisturize but for me it softens my hair). Thirdly this oil is can be used a styler I was in shock because I am so accustomed to using leave in conditioners and butters and all that jazz, but this oil proved me so wrong, i regret ever underestimating avocado oil and i never will again.

I recommend going out and giving this oil a try for yourself not just taking my word for it, I assure you if your hair likes it you will love it.

Picture where i used avocado oil as a styler after my clay wash, it left my hair so moisturized and it been nearly 24 hours now since i put it in yesterday, it mmmmmmmmmm goood lol. 

And check out my youtube video on my rough length check its been 1 year and 4 months http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8EGpMGHnx0

So until my next blog post Ttyl

Honey Butta Conditioning Leave in Treatment

This is a simple treatment that can be made by anyone unless you are allergic too shea butter, you can substitute another butter, eg avocado butter or aloe butter, what makes the difference in this recipe is the honey.


So what you will need.


1 heaping teaspoon of shea butter
1 heaping teaspoon of cocoa butter
1 heaping teaspoon of mango butter
1 heaping teaspoon of honey

This recipe will make about 2oz of product (when whipped) which is enough, believe you me, its enough you DO NOT want too over use it, A little goes a very long way. An refrigerate after making, it will get hard in the refrigerator when you are ready too use it just take it out and leave it a while and it will be fine and it does not separate, so you do not have too go in and mix it again.

Directions:

Put all in a bowl get out your hand mixer and mix until all ingredients are incorporated you should end up with a nice melt, from your body heat butter lol, yes i said it and an added bonus a little goes a long way i like it on my skin too.

 I used it too keep the puff moisturized for the day too decrease the chances of ssks, after the puff,

I used my hibiscus spray too seal in the moisture too do this quick twistout (that you see above) and I sprayed with my hibiscus leave in worked it in then added the honey butta conditioner and then twisted and took it down after six (6) hours, you can leave in the twist even longer for a more defined twistout.

Disclaimer (this is what I use for my hair, I want too reiterate, try it and see how you like it and tell me how it goes).

Hibiscus Leave in conditioner

Simple Hibiscus Leave in Conditioner

This simple conditioner can be use as a moisturizer for the hair or a refresher for dry hair, it is one of my favourite leave ins after washing my hair, leaves it soft and manageable

I am going too share a recipe that I love and it works:

1 Hibiscus Flower

2 teaspoons of calendula flower

1/2 teaspoon of horse tail leaves

1/8 teaspoon of catnip leaves

5 1/2 oz water 

Bring water too a rolling boil (it should be reduced too 4oz by the time it is boiling, pour over flowers and leaves and leave too cool, then strain and also use a spoon too squeeze the rest of the liquid out of the leaves and the flowers. When cooled put in a spray bottle and use within a week since this mixture does not contain a preservative, it will be best too refrigerate it for maximum life.

Benefits: Leaves the Hair nice and bouncy for days lol.

It is recommended that you use the herbs for this and not the powder form, just so you can strain it better.


Just a lil update on the recipe i like the way chamomile smells lol yes i am weak for herbs lol, so i added about a 1/4 of  a teaspoon of chamomile just for smell, it gives it a nice herbally smell its not necessary but i like herbally scents.

THIS IS MY ONE YEAR HAIR COMPARISON PICTURE,HOW LONG I AINT DO THIS BLOGGING THING GOSH IM LAZY LOL

Hi my people, I do not really know if I prefer youtube over blogging or blogging over youtube, I am such a sad case.

I am happy that i can actually start doing styles because i finally have enough hair on my head lol, my first major style is a couture bun.

This was done from failed wash and go which i turned into a twistout, this style was actually inspired by a Youtuber, not the exact thing but the bun part anyway, I will do a tutorial why the heck not lol.

The two strand twist that i used too do this style I will insert a picture below.

The last style that I got out of this hair was a ponytail twisted infront kind of thing, yes I do not have name for it. It was a rushed style for me too get too church on time.

Yes this is what I have been up too, for the time I was away, any questions, queries drop me a line at callisa2006@gmail.com

Review

Pros:

Hey everyone, let me just start by saying I totally love this oil and there is nothing better right now for me than this oil.

It keeps my ends FABULOUS, and smooth, and it moisturises my hair, I mainly use this product on my ends (I apply 5 drops of product to my whole head of hair any remaining on my hands, i just pat it unto the rest of my hair).

This oil has been with me since October, 2011 and I have loved it ever since, I loved it so much I bought 3 bottles, lol, i paid about $45.00tt for one, too me its that good, and i am half way through my second bottle, i just cant waste it, its like GOLD, lol, well for me anyway.

I use this oil because i love coconut oil period, as for the main ingredients, I can vouch for the henna because my hair although is exposed to the sun everyday, yet it still maintains it's black colour.

It softens my ends on contact, it softens my mother's hair also she has colour treated hair. Its also non greasy, it rubs into your hands, just like a water based product would eventually do.

Its also a great oil for taking down twist and helping it to maintain its shape during the day, and I usually use it on my twists, when i am doing a long term twist out (5 days).

Cons:

I cannot use this on freshly washed hair that has no product in it, for some reason if I use it alone, it leaves my ends  a little stiff, not HARD but stiff, so its usually the last thing I put on my hair after my moisturising routine.

Smell:

It has a light coconut perfume scent, its an ok scent and it isn't overpowering too the nose and eventually fades away.

Conclusion:

Overall its a great product especially for the ends of your hair, it has a nice smell, and a bonus its water based for people who like the whole water based thing.


Hope you guys enjoyed my review until next time, any question or comments you can post it in the  comment box and i will get back too you, ttyl.

Shea Moisture Organic Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie Review

De-ionized water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea butter)*, Macadamia Ternifolia seed oil, Mangifera Indica (Mango) seed butter*, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) oil, Vegetable Glyerine, Panthenol Vitamin B-5, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) oil*, Aloe Barbadensis leaf extract, silk protein, Melia Azadirachta (Neem) seed oil, Daucus Carota Sativa (carrot) seed oil, Caprylyl glycol, Sorbitol Esters, essential oil blend, Lonicera Caprifolium (honeysuckle) flower and Lonicera Japonica (Japanese honeysuckle) flower extract and Tocopherol (Vitamin E).

The Cons of this Product:

It does not have Directions on how to use the product. Ok how am I supposed to use a product if it doesnt have directions am i supposed to grope around in the dark.

It doesnt say use on wet hair, it doesnt say use on dry hair, it doesnt say small amount or large amount.

It does not say anywhere on the Ingredient Listing that it contains Hibiscus in any form, its not even on the side with the coconut, the silk protein or the neem oil, very interesting to me i find.


Pros:

I do like the fact that this product is Fair Traded and Sustainable, I have to give the company kudos for that.

Usage:

I tried this on my dry hair thinking ok its going to add moisture oh boy was i wrong, this thing made my hair so hard i actually heard my hair when i touched it, first FAIL. The second time i used it i had to layer on so many products under it, because it hold like Brown Gel from back in the days hard, hard and More HARD, I had to layer products under it and suprisingly it came out well and my hair was moisturized and the style held up for some days.

I dont really see the point using a product if you have to add so many thing just to make it usable, that doesnt really make any kind of sense at all.

Consistency:

It reminds me of mashed potatoes that havent been mashed well, meaning chunks of potatoes were still left in it to give it some texture, and its really thick it reminds me of Shea Butter before oils and other stuff has been added to it.

Smell:

lolololol it reminds me of weeds lol, like we say in my country old bush lol.


Conclusion:

I give this a B in my ratings, a B because i can still use it in the place of Gel and get the same hold.
Will i buy this product again probably not, I really dont see the point of it, when i can get the same results from my own shea butter mix.

I hope you guys enjoy my blog post more post to come very soonnnnn ttylllll.
